Scotsman commercial repair FAQ

Do you service Scotsman Prodigy and nugget machines in the Twin Cities?
Yes — Prodigy cubers and nugget machines (MX/CU) are common Twin Cities calls, especially for healthcare and quick-serve customers. Most repairs finish in a single visit.
Why is my Scotsman nugget machine noisy?
Nugget machine noise almost always traces to the auger gearmotor or the water seal wearing. We replace the seal/auger assembly and verify motor amp draw before re-commissioning.
How much does Scotsman ice machine repair cost?
Most Twin Cities Scotsman repairs run $320–$780 in parts and labor after the $199 trip fee. Sealed-system work is quoted in writing.
How fast can you respond to a downed Scotsman unit?
Most Twin Cities commercial calls placed before 11am get a same-day window, with an average on-site arrival under 4 hours. Emergency dispatch is available for HACCP-window failures and after-hours kitchen outages — call our line and we'll route the closest tech.
Are your technicians certified to work on Scotsman equipment?
Every technician is EPA Section 608 certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work, gas-certified for cooking equipment, and trained on Scotsman's service literature and diagnostic tools. We carry the OEM service plugs and manufacturer descalers where applicable.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
Yes. After-hours and weekend emergency dispatch is available across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities metro for downed refrigeration, ice machines, and warewashing. An after-hours premium applies; we confirm the rate before dispatch.

Do you service Scotsman equipment under manufacturer warranty?
We are not a factory-authorized warranty servicer for Scotsman. If your unit is still inside the manufacturer parts warranty, we'll help you file with the factory; if labor or out-of-warranty service is the concern, we can take the call directly with a 1-year written warranty on our parts and labor.

What warranty comes with a Scotsman repair?
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair. The same failure mode on the same unit within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Sealed-system components can carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
What is the diagnostic fee for a Scotsman commercial service call?
The commercial trip charge is $199 and it is waived with any repair — approve the work on the same visit and the fee comes off the invoice. Sealed-system, compressor, and major-component work is quoted in writing before we recover refrigerant or open the cabinet.
Do you provide written estimates and health-inspector documentation for Scotsman repairs?
Yes. Written estimates are issued before any sealed-system, compressor, or major-component work. On request we provide inspector-ready documentation: repair scope, part numbers, refrigerant type and charge, and the date service restored the unit to spec.
